Correspondences between Milarepa and Christ.

10:40 p.m.
                And on the second day, he got a bit pissed as was his wont whilst lacking in the cannybliss (and baccy!)
                Some similar things about Christ and Milarepa. I think Christ was a buddhist. Or a hindu. The forty days and nights in the desert .... some cats got it and some cats aint.
                 Milarepa said you had to love other people more than yourself.
                 When  he was dying, he directed his disciples to the stuff buried under his hearth, his 'gold'. One thing was a sugar cube and another was a bit of cloth. So you could half the cube and half the bit of cloth and the bits remaining were the same size as the original. Loaves and fishes.
                  Milarepa was supposed to be a buddha. In his story, he says that he could go to buddha realms and divide into numerous entities, but in his dreams. He didn't say he could do this while he was awake. Buddhas are supposed to be omnicient, but what does that mean?
                
                  There are a lot of miracles at the end of the Milarepa story, when he decides as a hermit to go and die in one of the caves. At this time it says he appeared to lots of flatheids and seems to have divided up himself in some way. People had simultaneous experiences of his presence. I think this is in the Christ story as well, but after he'd been crucified and rose again.
                  Of course, in the Disbelieving Congregation we don't believe in any things, but these correspondences I thought were interesting, especially as regards the compassion.
                   Interesting programme this evening on BBC Three about cannybliss. Lots of kids on screen smoking dope. They don't expect to get arrested. My generation was traumatised by the domestic busts, the doors getting kicked in, the arrests for traces.
                  The fascist basturns will all go to hell, won't they, Jack? Don't worry about that, Hotboy. They'll all go to hell.
